I'll post some more stuff later, I hope. Right now, my computer is running really slowly when I type into the blogger so I'm going to poke around my system and see if I can figure out what's going on.

Day 85-19: -$87.75 (-44 BB at $1/2)
Level: -$12.75 in 48.19 table hours (-6 BB at $1/2)
Overall: +$259.90 in 187.15 table hours
Ugh. Downswings like this suck. I was actually up somewhere in the neighborhood of $40 early, but then I got really unlucky. Most of the money that I lost feels like it was on preflop raises that missed flops (~1-3 BB losses). I don't mind that.
In other news, I like the new DeucesCracked converter, and I'll be using that one from now on. It doesn't have HTML code to make some things bold or colored, but I don't mind. I prefer not having to change my position to "Hero" everywhere.

Day 84-18: +$25.25 (+13 BB at $1/2)
Level: +$75.00 in 46.17 table hours (+38 BB at $1/2)
Overall: +$347.65 in 185.13 table hours
I played a somewhat tight game today because the cards were not coming favorably to me. I was a bit tired, which is the reason I stopped (though I got in a solid 72 minutes). Looking at the stats, I've been running dry for a while now. Winning 38 BB in 46 table hours translates to less than 1 BB/100.
Hand 1: I almost folded this hand preflop because villain seemed like a decently tight player in the couple orbits I've seen him, but I decided to go for the 3-bet. It turns out I was in trouble preflop, and on the river. Maybe I can check-fold the river, but I feel like he might bet anything when I check to him.
Preflop: Hero is SB with Ad, Jh.
1 fold, MP raises, 2 folds, Hero 3-bets, 1 fold, MP calls.
Flop: (7 SB) 8c, 7s, Jc (2 players)

Results:
Hero has Ad Jh (straight, jack high).
MP has Ac Kh (flush, ace high).

Turn: (6 BB) As (2 players)
SB checks, BB bets, SB calls.
River: (8 BB) Ah (2 players)
SB checks, BB bets, SB calls.
Results:

SB has Kd 2h (three of a kind, aces).
Hand 3: Woo hoo! I was drawing very live on the turn with a full 10 outs.

Results:
Hero has Js 7d (one pair, jacks).
